Mark Hudson...

Re: Mark Hudson...

Thanks for posting that Tuerto, just listened to it. Fascinating stuff about what used to happen in November under Dave Jones’ management- I can remember one thread on the subject on here where I traced his managerial career right back to his first year at Stockport and, almost without fail, his teams had a poor November.
The reason for his poor form in his first season was certainly news to me - I can’t remember something like that even being hinted at at the time.

Re: Mark Hudson...

That was brilliant. Very rarely bother with podcasts and I'd planned to give this one ten minutes or so, but I ended up watching it all. Mark Hudson has always come across as a really decent person and I think this podcast only underlines that impression. Top man.

Re: Mark Hudson...

Listened to it Des, enjoyed it, especially Bellamy bollocking Mcnaughton over the team line up for his testimonial :hehe: sadly, i don't agree with his sentiments on the fans thoughts on going up in red. If fans were given the chance to decide then i think that they would've emphatically voted to go up in red if that was the trade off.

Great listening.
But I agree with Hudson, I hated the red phase- We were the laughing stock of fans of other clubs when we went red.
I wore blue all through the red phase, and like Huds said, we still supported the team despite protesting the red.

The stuff about the Portugal pre season trip where training was effectively canceled for 6 nights out on the piss isn't clever. I'd guess that players start peaking around the november mark, but with games coming quickly, weather conditions changing, it seems like we were running out of steam very early on.

It's a decent podcast, some of it is the usual footballer shit, although loads of it is really funny and gives you an insight into what it was like for them throughout their career. Kevin Blackwell is universally despised by almost any ex player that comments on him. Check out the Andy Johnson episode, the bloke is radio rental.

Is that the same trip that Anthony Gerrard talked about when he was on the podcast?

Re: Mark Hudson...

The red was bollocks , a dreadful time in this clubs history

Loads of the feckers who bought season tickets for the Premier league when we went up were not cardiff city fans , they just wanted to see the big clubs

They have mostly fecked off now

Blackwell is on everyone's shit list and Andy Johnson has an absolute screw loose. I can't remember the Forest left back, he was absolutely bananas too :xmashehe:

That was every preseason under DJ.

Re: Mark Hudson...

I really enjoy that podcast, there's nobody trying to be smart or over complicate anything, just a couple of average ex footballers and their mate. it's not overbearing.

Re: Mark Hudson...

Seems like a really good bloke. He was a great captain too.

The fact that people would still choose to go up in red, knowing the shit show the first Premier League campaign was, makes me sick.

I don't want to bring back bad memories or argue again, because believe me I did a lot of that, but that was the beginning of the end for me. Realising some Cardiff fans would choose success over anything else was horrible to see.

Re: Mark Hudson...

Used to be my favourite player, after Whitts obviously.

So he wasn’t your favourite player then? 😂
